The program, he noted has tripled the number of students who gained admission to senior high schools to pursue secondary education.
Mama Pat, on the hand has also provided incentives to almost all basic schools to ensure pupils pass their BECE exams to access the free SHS program, Mr Kyei posited.
ECONOMIC GROWTH:
